My favorite non-BL series
These are shows I've enjoyed and have, mostly, watched more than once.
-
1. Ever Night
Chinese Drama - 2018, 60 episodes
Magical thinking. Intricately told.
-
2. The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty

Jackie Chan does Young Sherlock during the Ming Dynasty. Darren Chen from Meteor Garden delivers a funfilled journey for the young detective.

3. Meteor Garden
Chinese Drama - 2018, 50 episodes
I've seen part of the original and budget-wise it suffers by comparison. The actors are attractive and effective in their roles.

4. Hikaru no Go
Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes
A simple story with deep currents. It even made me want to take up Go. The threads of beginnings, endings, and renewal are deftly woven into the fabric of the story.

5. Dive
Chinese Drama - 2019, 30 episodes
A bit of an oddball bromance with a Thai lead in a Chinese series, it's quite fun.
